Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a device for traversing optical pickup of a disc drive, and more particularly, to a device for traversing optical pickup of a disc drive capable of smoothly transferring an optical pickup unit engaged with a lead screw along a guide shaft.
- 2. Description of the Conventional Art
- Generally, a disc drive is an apparatus for reproducing information recorded in a disc such as a compact disc (CD), a digital versatile disc (DVD), etc. or recording information in a disc. In the disc drive, when a tray where a disc is mounted is loaded into the drive, a drive unit rotates the disc and an optical pickup unit is moved in a radius direction of the disc by an optical pickup transfer device thereby to reproduce/record information stored in the disc.
- FIG. 1 is a plane view showing a device for traversing optical pickup of a disc drive in accordance with the conventional art.
- As shown, the conventional a device for traversing optical pickup of a disc drive comprises: a
first guide shaft 11 formed at one side of an upper surface of adeck 1; and asecond guide shaft 12 formed at another side of the upper surface of thedeck 1 and parallel to thefirst guide shaft 11 with a certain distance. - A
first guide portion 15 and asecond guide portion 16 are respectively formed at one side and another side of theoptical pickup unit 13 so as to movably couple theoptical pickup unit 13 where anoptical pickup 14 is mounted to thefirst guide shaft 11 and thesecond guide shaft 12. - An
insertion hole 15 a for inserting thefirst guide shaft 11 is formed at thefirst guide portion 15, and an insertion hole 16 a for inserting thesecond guide shaft 12 is formed at thesecond guide portion 16. - A
lead screw 17 is rotatably installed at the upper surface of thedeck 1 to be parallel to thefirst guide shaft 11. - A
feed guide 18 havingteeth 18 a is fixed to thefirst guide portion 15 to be elastically coupled to thelead screw 17. - A driven
gear 19 is rotatably installed at the end of thelead screw 17. - As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the
feed guide 18 is provided with aspring 20, and theteeth 18 a of thefeed guide 18 are elastically coupled to thelead screw 17 by thespring 20. - A
connection gear 20 is rotatably installed at the upper surface of thedeck 1 to be engaged with the drivengear 19, adriving gear 21 is rotatably installed at the upper surface of thedeck 1 to be engaged with theconnection gear 20, and a driving motor 22 is connected to thedriving gear 21. - In the conventional device for traversing optical pickup of disc drive, when the driving motor22 rotates the
driving gear 21, thedriving gear 21 rotates theconnection gear 20 again. Theconnection gear 20 rotates the drivengear 19 thus to rotate thelead screw 17. Herein, since theteeth 18 a of thefeed guide 18 are engaged with thelead screw 17, theoptical pickup unit 13 is moved in a radius direction of the disc. At this time, theoptical pickup 14 of theoptical pickup unit 13 records a signal on a signal recording surface of the disc or reproduces the recorded signal by reading. - However, in the device for traversing optical pickup of a disc drive, a coupling force between the
lead screw 18 and theteeth 18 a are determined by an elastic force of thespring 20. According to this, in case that the elastic force of thespring 20 is set to be much less than a reference value, theteeth 18 a are loosely engaged with thelead screw 18 or are not engaged thereto thereby not to smoothly transfer theoptical pickup unit 13. Also, theteeth 18 a of thefeed guide 18 may be detached from thelead screw 17 by an external impact generated at the time of falling or carrying a product. - Additionally, in case that the elastic force of the
spring 20 is set to be much more than a preset value in order to prevent said problem, theteeth 18 a are too adhered to thelead screw 17 thereby not to smoothly transfer theoptical pickup unit 13. - Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a device for traversing optical pickup of a disc drive capable of engaging teeth of a feed guide to a lead screw by a proper elastic force and preventing the teeth of the feed guide from being easily detached from the lead screw by an external impact.
- To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, there is provided a device for traversing optical pickup of disc drive comprising: an optical pickup unit slidably installed at a guide shaft; a lead screw adjacently and parallel installed to the guide shaft; and a feed guide fixed to the optical pickup unit to be engaged with the lead screw using an elastic force of a plate spring.
- The feed guide is composed of: a plate spring member having a fixed portion fixed to the optical pickup unit at one side thereof and having an elastic supporting portion at another side thereof; and a first molding member fitted into the elastic supporting portion of the plate spring member and coupled to the lead screw.
- A second molding member coupled to the lead screw is further installed at the end of the plate spring member.

driving gear 160 is rotatably installed at the upper surface of thedeck 1 to be engaged with theconnection gear 150, and adriving motor 170 is connected to thedriving gear 160. - A
feed guide 180 elastically engaged with thelead screw 140 by using an elastic force of a plate spring is fixed to the upper surface of theoptical pickup unit 130 by a screw S. - Referring to FIGS.5 to 7, the construction of the
feed guide 180 will be explained. Afixed portion 181 a fixed to theoptical pickup unit 130 is formed at one side of aplate spring member 181, and an elastic supportingportion 181 b is formed at another side thereof. - The
fixed portion 181 a is provided with a screw hole H for screw-engaging with theoptical pickup unit 130 shown in FIG. 4. - A
first molding member 190 is fitted into the elastic supportingportion 181 b, andteeth 190 a engaged with thelead screw 140 are formed at one side surface of thefirst molding member 190. - A
second molding member 191 is fitted into the end of theplate spring member 181, andteeth 191 a engaged with thelead screw 140 are formed at one side surface of thesecond molding member 191. - A generally well-known insert injection method is applied to fit the
first molding member 190 into the elastic supportingportion 181 b or to fit thesecond molding member 191 into the end of theplate spring member 181. - The elastic supporting
portion 181 b is formed by cutting three surfaces of the middle portion of theplate spring member 181 and by downwardly bending one surface that is not cut. - By bending the elastic supporting
